Look What I Made :)

I just returned home from participating in a workshop as part of the Saviour of the Lost Arts program. The workshop was Stencil Printing Using Sustainable Fabrics presented by Sam and Ellie from Red Seed Studio.

Here is my contact stencil applied to an eco hemp tote bag, I then applied the ink to the design using a stippling brush.

Here is the finished bag, it just needs to be ironed so that the ink sets. It is for Cloud who is a very sick little bunny at the moment:(

Homewares - featuring both commercial fabrics from our fabric store as well as Original Voodoo Rabbit fabrics.

We will continue to add new items as they are created and eventually any handmade items currently listed at Voodoo Rabbit will be moved over to Voodoo Rabbit Stitches.

Licorice Allsorts Beach Bag

Here is a bag I made up last night. I have had it cut out since just before last Christmas with the intention of giving it to my little sister. Now that it is finished she may finally receive it. Combining the striped fabric with the black webbing and binding makes it look a bit like a licorice allsort, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The fabric is from a fabric swap game at a sewing guild Christmas Party, not something I would have picked on my own. All of the lining, webbing, binding and zippers came from my stash.
The pattern is from the book "Making Handbags: Retro, Chic, Luxurious" by Ellen Goldstein-Lynch, Sarah Mullins and Nicole Malone.

I have also added in a zippered pocket to the lining which isn't included in the original pattern, there is a great tutorial on how to do this at u-handbag.com.
